BASE Pack for Animoog

The BASE Pack is born from a quest Moog engineers embarked on with help from researchers at The University of North Carolina at Asheville to discover the most primordial sounds known to man. The result is the Biomimetically Augmented Synthesis Expansion Pack (BASE Pack) for the Animoog synthesizer. The BASE Pack is a collection of timbres and presets that radically extends the sonic capabilities of Animoog from the purely electronic realm of its Moog ancestry into a richly organic world of biological sound.

Moog Music spent a little time at Switched On Music Electronics in Austin Texas during South By South West. Switched On has an impressive collection of new and vintage synths, effects pedals, tweeky gadgetry, and knowlegable and talented staff.
